Payroll/HR Systems
Payroll is responsible for the timely and accurate payment of salaries, wages, and withholdings for all University of Delaware employees.
We currently operate on both a bi-weekly and semi-monthly schedule processing approximately 20,000 paychecks a month. We are also responsible for the creation and distribution of the W2, 1042S and 1095C year end forms.
What's New
Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the State of Delaware’s minimum wage increased from $13.25 to $15.00. The Payroll office automatically updated any employee whose hourly rate was currently below the new minimum wage. If an employee is already at or above the new minimum wage, no action was taken.
The University of Delaware has mailed 2024 W-2 Forms. If you have consented to receive your W-2 Form electronically, it will be accessible via the W-2 Web View.
Each January, UD employees enrolled in the state pension retirement plan have an initial exclusion for the first $6,000 of pensionable earnings. This means that for the first $6,000 of earnings, employee contributions will not occur, and only University contributions will be taken from those earnings. Employee contributions will typically begin in the March/April timeframe. During this timeframe, you will notice a decrease in your net pay, which will continue until the end of the calendar year. For more information, please see the State of Delaware website.
The University of Delaware mailed 2024 1095-C Forms by the IRS Deadline of March 3, 2025. Refer to Payroll Tax Form 1095 for more information.
Employees may elect to receive their 2024 W-2 forms electronically. Employers must comply with specific IRS regulations to use electronic W-2's and employees must provide their consent to receive an electronic W-2 instead of a paper copy. If you have already submitted your consent for 2024, you do not need to take further action. You can view/submit your consent using the W-2 Electronic Consent Form
There are many benefits to having your W-2 statement sent electronically, including:
- Providing easy and early access to your W-2 through Web Views
- Eliminating the chance of the W-2 getting lost and protecting your information from theft
- Support the University of Delaware Green Sustainability Initiative.
- Reducing the University’s costs by cuting back on printing and mailing forms
If you have any questions regarding this notice or your W-2 Statement, contact the Payroll Department.
